I am wondering if it would make sense to add a new configuration option to the
startup servlet:
<init-param>
<param-name>jndi-bind-remote</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
If true, the servlet would then know that it should bind the *remote* repo
object to the JNDI context, as opposed to the repository object reference
itself.
In general, this will allow you to bind the remote repo object to *any* JNDI
tree - which would be useful if that JNDI tree is remotely accessible.
In my case, it would allow me to bind the remoted interface (which is
inherently serializable) to a JBoss JNP naming service (which then
automatically gives you remote access since you could then use the JNP client
from a remote VM to get the repo).
As it stands, it looks like you have no choice wrt where you bind the remote
object - the RMI Registry (via the rmi-XXX servlet init parameters). The
rmi-XXX options trigger the servlet to end up calling
"LocateRegistry.createRegistry" - this under the covers uses the SUN JNDI impl
"sun.rmi.registry.RegistryImpl" when running with SUN's JRE). I don't want to
use that - I want the JNP service to be my remote registry.
Unless I'm missing something, which is entirely possible :-) I can't see how I
can get the remote repo unless I register it in the RMI Registry.

Subject: deploying to JBoss
Has anyone tried to deploy the jackrabbit webapp in JBoss and registering the
repository in JBoss's JNDI (i.e. the provider URL being jnp://localhost:1099
with the factory being org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory) as opposed to
using the dummy JNDI provider that is configured by default
(org.apache.jackrabbit.core.jndi.provider.DummyInitialContextFactory)
I tried that but failed due to the repository impl. class not being
serializable:
javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is
java.io.NotSerializableException: org.apache.jackrabbit.core.RepositoryImpl]
